Postponing your GMAT test date - Info

by jsl » Mon Jul 14, 2008 2:31 am
In choosing Kaplan, you have a huge amount of material which is both good and bad as there is so much to absorb. The downside is that I feel pressured to complete the designated materials each week in order to qualify for the Kaplan money back guarantee. This includes taking a CAT each week. I like to fully review every single question which takes up a lot of time.

After low(ish) results straddling the 600 score on my CAT results, I am thinking of postponing by 1-2 months from my target test date of 18th August to sometime in September/October. I am not in a huge rush to complete my GMAT as I am planning to apply to business school in 2-4 years time.

Does anyone have any advice on postponing test dates? To date, I have been studying for the past 7 weeks and feel exhausted. In particular:
  • 1. I have a 1 week holiday at the last week of August, how do I get back into the swing of studying after the holiday?
    2. Obviously, it wouldn't be wise to push back my test indefinitely. Does anyone know a good strategy to ensure that one doesn't peak too early?
